Retired Supreme Court Chief Justice's demand to dissolve Nepal's parliament accepted

Gen Z Pick Sushila Karki Sworn In As Interim PM

NEPAL has made history once again. The country's first female Chief Justice, Sushila Karki, has now become its first female Prime Minister. She was sworn in by President Ramchandra Paudel at his office, Sheetal Niwas, on Friday. It followed the dissolution of the elected government headed by KP Sharma Oli.

Karki and the Gen Z protesters had made it clear that she would step in only after Parliament was dissolved—a demand that has now been fulfilled. The House was dissolved with effect from 11 pm, the President's Office said. Former PM Baburam Bhattarai and a clutch of diplomats, including from India, China and the US, attended the swearing-in event.

September 12, the fifth day of the Gen Z protest, will be remembered as a defining moment in Nepal's political history—a day when the youth, united and resolute, toppled a government, dissolved parliament, and helped elevate a woman known for her anti-corruption crusade to the highest executive office.

This unprecedented movement inspired young people globally, proving that when youth unite, they can dismantle entrenched regimes and expose decades of corruption.
